That's what they're asking for by just sending everyone "back to normal" just because they are so bored because they can't play pickelball and crowd into their favorite bars and restaurants.

I'm sure the big guy up north would love to hear that except he might lose a lot of his "peeps" before he really needs them by attrition.
The gates will not be thrown open. Regaining our liberties will be a gradual process

. Have two weeks of lower reported deaths or illness
. Phase 1 - similar to what is now. Few stores open but social distancing remains as does limiting groups to 10 or less
. Phase 2 - more stores open including bars (that should make drunks happy) and some restaurants but with large spacing between
. Phase 3 - pretty much all is open again

All phases are in two week increments. If they start spiking in cases or deaths, all bets are off and they go back to lockdown
